Read, Alexander ; ( Rhead, Alexander ) & H.C. [i.e. Helkiah Crooke] ; [ Ambroise Pare ] Somatographia anthropine (romanized form)] Or a Description of the Body of Man. With the Practise of Chirurgery, and the use of three and fifty Instruments. By Artificiall Figures representing the members, & fit termes expressing the same. Set forth .....
[ London ] Printed by Tho. Cotes : and are to be sold by Michael Sparke at the blew Bible in Greene Arbor 1634 Full Morocco Very Good 8vo.
.......either to pleasure or to profit those who are addicted to this Study. Second part has sep. t.-p.: "An explanation of the fashion and use of three and fifty instruments of chirurgery. Gathered out of Ambrosius Pareus the famous French Chirurgion, and done into English for the behoofe of young Practitioners in Chirurgery by H.C. [i.e. Helkiah Crooke]" [3], 154 leaves & [6], 117 [1, contents] pp. Lacks the initial blank. The signature numbers run from the first through the second work. The numbering of the leaves in the first work is a little haphazard, and the second work is pages rather than leaves. Rebound in 1958, the binders letter with the books states 'This book requires washing, mending and resizing. I should then bind in medium brown Goatskin (first grade). As near as possible to original binding (early 17th century). Price £7 15/-' A nice job he has done too. The edges of the first and last leaves have been re-enforced, and a tear to the title page has been repaired - there is also a previous owner's name at the top of the title page, dated 1827. The Goatskin has attractive blind decoartion, including a diamond pattern panel marked off in the centre of the boards. He has also attached a pair of brass clasps attached to morocco tabs. A very pleasing copy of a scarce book. Woodcuts thoughout, to the rectos of most leaves of the first work.
